Plainfield police say they want to talk to a 28-year-old man about a hit-and-run accident Monday night in which a pedestrian was killed.

Nathan A. Carcieri, with a last known address on Glebas Road in Plainfield, is wanted for questioning in connection with the police investigation of the crash. No arrest warrant has been issued for him, however, and police did not call him a suspect.

Police said Thursday that they have recovered a maroon 1997 Isuzu Trooper they said was involved in the accident.

Robert E. Johnson Sr., 59, of 19 Main St. in Central Village, was hit by an SUV at about 11:20 p.m. as he was crossing School Street, also known as Route 14.

The SUV was traveling north on Main Street, also known as Route 12, and turned left onto Route 14. Johnson was hit near the intersection, which is surrounded by a cluster of small businesses. He died later of his injuries.

The SUV did not stop to help, but continued west on Route 14, police said.

It was raining at the time of the crash.

Plainfield police are continuing to investigate the accident.

Anyone with information about it is asked to call the department at (860) 564-0804 or the anonymous tip line at (860) 564-7065.

Johnson lived in a house about 100 yards from the spot where he was hit. The owner is listed as Support Our Veterans Organization Inc. He served in the Army from 1974-77, according to his obituary.

Johnson worked as a machine operator at Johnson Corrugated for many years, his obituary said. He is survived by four children and three grandchildren.

A graveside service with military honors is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at West Thompson Cemetery.
